That fixes the problem for the assembler,  in that you have forced it to
treat the code as 32 bit (non-thumb).

I know you can mix thumb and non-thumb code,  and it seems that as long as
all parties know what code is in what mode it should work.

Unfortunately I don't know enough about it be sure this is a valid fix.
I think we need a long term arm expert to pass judgement on this one,
unless of source you manage to get it tested.  I don't have any thumb
targets I can try it on, sory,
